Effective January 1, 2011, all Filipinos who intend to travel to India can now have the option of securing their visa upon arrival at the airport. This program is known as the “Tourist Visa on Arrival”.

The tourist visa on arrival is good for 30 days, single entry. Immigration officers at the Mumbai, Delhi, Chennai and Kolkata airport are in-charge of granting this visa. This visa may be given to Filipinos twice in one year but please note that there should be a 2-month gap between each travel. The Indian government does not extend visas. It is also important to understand that the “Tourist Visa on Arrival” is solely for tourism purposes only.

Filipino citizens who wish to get this type of visa should present a valid passport (with photocopy) with at least six months remaining validity beyond the intended stay, proof of sufficient funds to support stay in the country and confirmed round-trip airline ticket to the immigration officer. You will also need to bring 2 passport size pictures.

Tourist Visa on Arrival costs about US $ 60 per traveler.

On the other hand, if you intend to stay in India for more than 30 days, you may secure a proper visa before your planned trip. All foreign nationals are permitted to stay in the country for up to 180 days, regardless of what type of visa you are holding. For those holding a multiple entry visa, it is mandatory to leave India before the 180-day allowable stay expires. You may enter the country after 2 months from the date of your departure.

General Requirements

Tourist visa

Valid passport

1 duly accomplished visa application form

2 passport size recent pictures

Confirmed round-trip airline ticket

Bank statement or any other proof of financial standing or sponsorship

Tell your boyfriend to send proof that he is charging you 20% interest on the funds he’s spending on you for travel. LOL.
